Knives

Knives was a really great episode of Babylon 5. I enjoyed watching this episode as Sheridan had to deal with Alien ghost creatures and Londo had to deal with difficult circumstances regarding an old friend from Centauri Prime. I thought this episode had some good character development for both these characters, especially Londo where he consciously acknowledges his wrong choices yet stays on the path to its end. I also thought it was interesting what Sheridan learned about the Alien creature that was inhabiting his mind. I thought this episode had a good ending and I look forward to watching more Babylon 5!!!!!moreless

Londo and his ghosts..

I do not think this episode was something major - there always cannot be something important going on and after episode like last, that kind of little calmness is quite good. The storyline itself does not catch me too much in the beginning. I most say Urza is portrayed and played quite notably, so I can say great acting but it just does not work alone. The story catch up in the end, when we start to realize that Urza is going to sacrifice himself to his family and one interview Straczynski even said that the whole serie is about self sacrifice.. so.. we are not much far of it.. and after Londo has killed his friend, back on his place and thinking back of choices he has made and where that has taken him... first time he doubts.. but also, in this episode, he first time tells that there is great destiny for him what he has to fulfill.And what goes to Sheridan storyline - totally filler.moreless

What I found to be the most interesting part of this episode is that Londo appears to know the path he walks is wrong, yet continues due to his belief in fate and destiny.moreless

What I found to be the most interesting part of this episode is that Londo appears to know the path he walks is wrong, yet continues due to his belief in fate and destiny.

At the end of the episode, Londo appears to be genuinely upset that Urza Jaddo's reputation was tarnished due to actions of Londo and his allies. At other points, he is afraid of his agreement with the Shadows. He seems to fear the path ahead.However, he refuses to quit walking it. He keeps going, out of a professed belief that he is following his destiny.This is an interesting complication to me. That you know what your doing is wrong, yet you continue to do it because you feel you must. This concept is rather alien to me.moreless

In this episode, Sheridan sees an image of his parents. The man playing his father is uncredited in the episode. In future episodes, Sheridan's father is played by Rance Howard. It's the second time that a family member of Sheridan's was played by more than one actor. His wife was played initially by Beth Toussaint in "Revelations" and later by Bruce Boxleitner's real wife, Melissa Gilbert.

Nit Pick: Dr. Franklin tells Sheridan that dead bodies can build up deposit of gas that can cause them make noise or move. This must still be happening since the "dead" alien lying on the table is obviously breathing.

At the end of the sword duel with Urza, Mollari has the sword in his right hand. When he gets headbutted he falls down and the swords falls down left of him. When Urza goes for the death blow, Londo grabs the sword with his right hand, apparently from his right side.

At the beginning, Sheridan plays baseball. It would be difficult to play baseball in a space station that generates gravity by rotation, since the Coriolis effect would cause fly balls to drift in the direction opposite rotation.

Sheridan: Commander, everything in order?Ivanova: Remarkably so, and it's beginning to worry me.Sheridan: Do you always worry when things are going well?Ivanova: I don't have time to worry about them when they're not.
